The Liberty Seated Half Dime, known by its mintmark H10c, was produced by the United States Mint during the mid-19th century, with the design debuting in 1837. The 1872 Liberty Seated Half Dime struck at the San Francisco Mint (S mintmark) is particularly notable for its scarcity and appeal to collectors. These coins feature a depiction of Liberty seated, holding a shield and a pole with a cap, symbolizing freedom and protection. The 1872 issue is sought after for its historical significance and its relatively low mintage compared to other years in the series. Collectors often focus on factors such as condition, rarity, and mintmark when valuing these collectible coins.
